Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act in the Senate on Thursday. His bill intended to take action to “put power back in the people’s hands instead of the administrative state,” read a press release about the bill. This specifically applies to the current process involving legislation in the government in which regulations go into effect unless explicitly disapproved by Congress. Under Paul’s proposal in the REINS Act, major rules would need to be approved by the legislative branch before going to the president for signature and approval. “The purpose of this Act is to increase accountability for and transparency in the Federal regulatory process,” read the text of the bill. “Section 1 of article I of the Constitution of the United States grants all legislative powers to Congress.” Additionally, Paul’s REINS Act highlighted a recent history of a reduction in oversight and accountability in legislation that is passed by Congress.

    Let's assume absolute proof comes out that the CIA was behind 9/11. Using your logic the war in Iraq was justified because....reasons. You really didn't think that one through.

    :rolleyes: God took Northern Israel from the Jews and gave it to the Samaritans. The current people calling themselves Jews aren't Jews. Revelation 2:9 9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Many of the founders of modern Israel were atheists. See: https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2017-01-21/ty-article/.premium/how-israel-went-from-atheist-zionism-to-jewish-state/0000017f-e918-dc91-a17f-fd9d87a00000 If you actually read your Bible you would know that atheists have no business claiming God's promises.

    A fact that everybody is ignoring. Gaza NEVER belonged to the Jews, not even in Bible times. It belonged to the Philistines. (That's where the word "Palestinian" comes from). Northern Israel, after the kingdom was divided by God, didn't belong to the Jews either. It was the kingdom of Israel AKA the Samaritan kingdom. As pointed out in John chapter 4 "The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans." The funny thing is, the Samaratins still exist. And..they get along both with Jews and Arabs. So give the Samaritans back THEIR land, let the Jews have historical Judea, the Palestinans have what was Philistia and "problem solved." Of course the Samaritans are small in number now so they'll need some backup. But at least there's not an ongoing blood feud right now between them and anybody else. https://www.timesofisrael.com/film-projects-spotlight-on-israels-tiny-samaritan-community-fighting-for-its-future/ The Samaritans have lived in the Land of Israel for 3,600 years. Some may be familiar with references to them in the New Testament, but few know who they really are. A new multi-faceted project by the Yeshiva University Center for Israel Studies introduces the Samaritans to a wide and varied audience, and explores how they have managed to survive for millennia despite efforts by conquering powers to erase them. Crucially, the project asks how the Samaritans plan to continue to survive into the future when today they number a mere 862.

    :rolleyes: Okay. So I guess your an equal opportunity lover of fascism. Everybody is innocent if they're right wing (all the January 6th prisoners) and must all be guilty if a right winger imprisons them. Whatever dude. And I know it's a waste of time arguing with you because you have zero honesty or credibility. But for anyone else who might read this, even the El Salvadorian government knows that innocents are getting swept up in the dragnet. People are getting arrested on nothing but anonymous phone calls. You've never heard of SWATTING in the U.S.? This is many times worse. https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-08-27/el-salvador-the-hell-of-the-innocent-sent-to-prison-on-an-anonymous-phone-call.html

    So mass incarceration of regular people in El Salvador under the guise of fighting gang crime? https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/thousands-of-innocent-people-jailed-in-el-salvadors-gang-crackdown Thousands of innocent people jailed in El Salvador’s gang crackdown El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele was re-elected for a second term in a landslide win. Bukele has overseen a vast and brutal crackdown on gangs, transforming the nation from one of the deadliest to one of the safest in Latin America. But that peace has come at a cost with thousands of innocent people jailed. Amna Nawaz and producer Teresa Cebrian Aranda visited the country for this report.

    https://gwjusticejournal.com/2024/06/21/truces-to-terror-bukeles-legacy-of-gangs-and-mass-incarceration-in-el-salvador/ Truces to Terror: Bukele’s Legacy of Gangs and Mass Incarceration in El Salvador Sofia Ramirez June 21, 2024 Share Image Credits: @mauriciocuellar on Unsplash (Unsplash License) In 2012, Nayib Bukele won the mayoral election in Nuevo Cuscatlán, a small municipality in El Salvador, as a part of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), which is a left-wing political party. That same year, the FMLN organized a pact with the two biggest gangs in El Salvador: MS-13 and Barrio-18. This truce was formulated secretly, as negotiating with gangs is a highly controversial issue that could result in public backlash. The agreement allowed for the gangs to have around thirty members moved from the Zacatecoluca Security Penitentiary Center to state prisons in exchange for a lower homicide rate. As a result, the murder rate in the coming weeks dropped, with the average of daily murders dropping from fourteen to six. This “truce” was quickly revealed by Salvadorian journalists and exposed to the public. The Minister of Justice and Public Security, David Munguía Payés, denied any agreements with MS-13 and Barrio 18, claiming that the homicide rates dropping were from the work of the National Civil Police. The government chose to continue denying any alleged truces that came up in the media.

    The president of El Salvador? He's been trying to break the back of MS-13 for several years now but many of those gang members are living in the U.S. He might also get paid a fee for housing U.S. prisoners the same way private prisons get paid. The fact that U.S. citizens might be part of the deal is disturbing though and possibly illegal. Imagine if Biden had exported January 6th prisoners to foreign countries? MS-13 is a complete quagmire of a problem. Refugees from right wing CIA backed death squads in El Salvador in the 1980s eventually formed their own U.S. backed street gangs to protect themselves from the Mexican Mafia and the Bloods and the Crips in the U .S. Bill Clinton deported as many as he could that were not U.S. citizens but El Salvador and other Central American countries were not prepared for the influx and their prisons became breeding grounds for more gang activity allowing them to become international. This time the president of El Salvador has invested heavily in prison infrastructure and has done his own brutal crackdown on the gang. He's basically running a concentration camp. Not just gang members have been rounded up but people associated with them have been rounded up as well.

    So how do YOU interpret the quote and what context would YOU put i it? It seems pretty obvious to me. "Were' putting in hundreds of millions of dollars" (the military aid we've been giving up until this point "and I want security of the rare earth and they are willing to do it" (the condition for sending more of the hundreds of millions of dollars). The context of the article is that Ukraine had already offered that as a deal to Trump to continue military and a significant amount of the areas where the rare earth is located is currently under Russian control. So you would leave all of that context out and just be left with a sound bite?

    I think Executive Orders serve a function. Some make changes until another president, some get challenged by judges and smacked down. I think in this era any EO that get smacked down would be recognized as something on the agenda and might be considered for Congress. In some cases a smackdown of the EO might end up being more productive with Congress to cement it into law.

    When the people at the top talk about "service sector jobs" they're thinking white executive. People at the bottom are thinking janitorial. At 1:30 this video in the scene from the movie "Set It Off" four women working for a janitorial service talk about how much they WISH the factory was still running.

    At the end of the video the person making the video makes the false claim that "people have moved on" and they have all "upscaled and gone to college", ignoring the painfully obvious trend of fewer young men going to college. Then he talks about the "need" to bring in skilled labor from other countries. There is a structural problem in our education system. It only prepares people (maybe) for college or perhaps professional sports. A young man in high school once asked my why he had to take chemistry when he wanted to be a mechanic when he graduated. I didn't have a good answer for him. Do you? You're a commercial pilot now. Becoming a pilot pays well but it doesn't require a college degree. (Neither does being an airline mechanic). Might a high school class on aviation be more relevant to some young people than physics or pre-calculus? But all schools are trying to make sure their students get good ACT and SAT scores so they can *gasp* go to college. That's the disconnect here. So what do a lot of these non college people end up trying to do? Make money on YouTube. :eek:

    Maybe but I would say there are a lot of ugly biological females out there these days. And my guess would be that there are plenty of trans people that would go undetected. I am not arguing that many are not obvious. Many are. The ones that are not obvious you didn't know.

    I don't know. Treatment ending does not translate to healthy individual. My daughters husband that was paralyzed in a car wreck almost a year ago and had shattered mush ribs and collapsed lung, spent a couple of months at Craig Hospital in Englewood, CO. He was released home but was far from healthy. A year later still very far from healthy even after considering the paralysis which will never heal.

    The education model whether private or public has failed. The objective of educating children has been obfuscated. It is easy to teach children yet the school system has failed miserably. It needs total reform.

    If money that was previously allocated for another purpose is redirected to education, then yes, the expense for education would effectively increase within that particular fiscal context. Here's how this would work: Redirection of Funds: If funds from programs like the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) or other non-education specific allocations are used for school choice or educational initiatives, then the amount of money going into education would increase compared to what it was before the redirection. Budgetary Impact: From a budgetary standpoint, this redirection would not increase the total federal budget but would shift existing allocations. However, for the education sector, this would represent an increase in funding because it's receiving money that was originally intended for other areas. Departmental or Programmatic Shifts: If, for example, the Department of Defense reallocates part of its budget for educational purposes for military families, this would increase the education expense within the DoD's budget, even though the overall budget for defense might remain the same. Perception vs. Reality: While the education expense increases in this scenario, it's important to note that this isn't an increase in total federal spending but rather a reallocation. However, from the perspective of those managing or benefiting from education programs, there's an increase in available resources for education. The caveat here is that such reallocations can sometimes lead to debates about whether this is the best use of funds, potentially at the expense of the original programs' objectives. Additionally, any significant or permanent shift in funding might require Congressional action to officially reallocate or increase budget lines, especially if it involves moving money across different departments or major programs.
